NX CAM from Product Lifecycle Management Australasia (plm) is providing a means for design/manufacture businesses to streamline shop floor operations and actively reduce the number of steps from design to production.

Moreover, the fast growing list of users find NX CAM capabilities mean that far less CAD input – sometimes none at all – is required when the true benefits of CAM are rolled out.

NX CAM fulfils all the requirements of those manufacturers needing a CAM-specific solution. It provides benefits both as an element of a standalone CAD/CAM solution or in a multi-CAD environment where data may come from a variety of CAD sources.

NX CAM also offers an unmatched range of capabilities, yet the automation capabilities such as the process templates and process assistants, make the system easy to use.

These same automation techniques enable preferred processes to be followed for each type of operation or product, which makes the system more productive, and leads to higher quality and consistent results.

The ability to work directly from the features defined in CAD model geometry with a high degree of associativity means that design information can be efficiently utilised directly in the manufacturing process.
